This is a meme I will never be able to understand:
Why do adventurers always have tragic backstories? Because happy, well-adjusted people don't go dragon hunting.
This is simply nonsense. The tragic backstory is a perfectly good way to motivate a character, it's true, but the idea that a happy person would never fight to protect their friends and loved ones is just a great way to end up with a tragic backstory.
That may not fit all games, if you're just adventuring for fame and glory, but there are far more motivations than just those.
